 There seems to be some confusion going on about the overloading of -t to
 mean --test and --target:

 ./run_tests.py --integ --test test.integ.control.controller ONLINE <--
 this runs without complaint (without enabling the online tests), tho it
 should be an error because of the dangling ONLINE

 ./run_tests.py --integ --test test.integ.control.controller -t ONLINE <--
 this runs without an error, but runs no tests at all. It reports "TESTING
 PASSED (0seconds)" which is unhelpful, because it doesn't say that it ran
 0 tests

 ./run_tests.py --integ --test test.integ.control.controller --target
 ONLINE behaves exactly the same like the above.
